Essential Destination: Amboseli

The snows of Kilimanjaro, white and crystalline, form a majestic backdrop to one of Kenya’s most spectacular displays of wildlife – lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo and hosts of plains’ game, creating Kenya’s most sought after photographer’s paradise

This is Maasai country, a proud nomadic people, who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries.

Game viewing is an adventure in this park, with lion, cheetah and buffalo almost an assured sight and hosts of antelope, zebra and other small creatures of the wild. Bird life is also abundant.

But the most impressive inhabitants of this arid landscape are the elephants, moving in large columns in their daily peregrination to the water.

Why You’ll Love This Trip…

The holiday was beautiful and the park was green with grass and water. We spotted lots of animals, and they weren’t shy of our presence so we were able to get close and capture beautiful photos. We got a very nice view of Mount Kilimanjaro as well.
